It would be good to get rid of the infestation of groups like 'Created Equal' from our campuses. Anyone who uses the term 'post-birth abortion' has had a brain infestation. One we should strive to save our young people from.

The part you don't seem to understand is that nobody believes this. Some whackos told you people believe this, and you bought it. Man, how on earth did you read that and actually convince yourself it was accurate? Did you really want to believe this about progressives that badly?

Simpleton's so narcissistic in their reasoning that they take on the role of God, determining what should be acceptable, and what should not...We, have seen this argument before in here, and even defended by some members in the past, so I don't understand why you don't trust that people hold this deplorable viewpoint....

In any case I found this opinion from the Catholic blog Patheos, and I think it is spot on....Take your time and read it.

"It reads like an article from The Onion.
But it’s not.
It’s a serious pseudo scholarly article published in the supposedly serious journal Medical Ethics, whose tagline reads “An international peer-reviewed journal for health professionals and researchers in medical ethics.”
I’ve long maintained that “ethics” as a scholarly pursuit is just the dressing up of the fine art of doing whatever you want to whomever you chose. Ethics, without God, is incapable of morality and shows no mercy or compassion. “Ethics,” as discussed in our learned journals and our various think tanks is an empathy-free zone; an elaborate mis-use of language to justify a world where the biggest and the meanest get to make all the rules.
After all, who makes these various judgements that “ethical thinkers” pass down but the biggest and the meanest? These ideas come from the royal jelly schools where a select few are groomed to take home all the prizes at the expense of everyone else. They are housed in enclosed, almost hermetically sealed environments where people never face the realities of the terrors they have wrought. They are sheltered and shielded, petted and pampered. And the “thinking” they produce is, far too often, an extension of the deep narcissism reflected in this kind of living.
“After-birth abortion: Why should the baby live?” is a product of this kind of thinking and tawdry ethical posing.
This scholarly paper, makes the case for killing children after they are born if “circumstances occur after birth such that they would have justified abortion … we claim that killing a newborn could be ethically permissible in all the cases where abortion would be.”
In other words, they are saying that we should be able to kill newborns because we want to kill them. That this is “ethical.”
The authors of this paper take the same tack used by a lot of people who argue for abortion on demand on this blog: the “fetus is not a person.” They argue that newborns aren’t “persons” either."

ding ding!

When I was in college and I got annoyed by these people, I used to return the favor of their choice to annoy people by saying **** specifically to piss them off.
